Going Places
I am going places,
going anywhere and everywhere to see it all,
to see white tigers in Siberia
to sing a ballad by Niagara Falls
I’ve seen myself at Stonehenge
while dreaming in my bed
I’ve traded riddles with the Sphinx
…If but only in my head
But still…
I want to climb the highest mountain
to walk the longest path
to explore the biggest plain
To explore the darkest cave and laugh…
…and to hide in the smallest crevice
where I would finally be safe to shed a bitter tear,
because, of all the places, I am stranded here
It’s easy to want to go places,
when no one wants you here
